How to Install the Panduit Wire Basket Trapeze Bracket (PWBTB Series)
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing Panduit Wire Basket Trapeze Brackets (PWBTB series) using either traditional or center hole mounting methods.
Estimated time: 20m
Tools needed:
Wrench
Supplies needed:
Panduit Wire Basket Trapeze Bracket (e.g., PWBTB18C**), Customer-supplied 1/2" or M12 threaded rods, Customer-supplied washers, Customer-supplied nuts, PWBHK** Wire Basket Hooks (2x, sold separately), Wire Basket, Threaded rod cover (optional, for center hole installation)
- Select Installation Method and Gather Components
Determine whether to use Traditional Installation (two threaded rods) or Center Hole Installation (single threaded rod). Note that PWBTB30** and PWBTB36** models only support Traditional Installation. Gather the trapeze bracket, customer-supplied 1/2" or M12 threaded rods, washers, nuts, and two PWBHK** wire basket hooks (sold separately).
- Attach Threaded Rods to Trapeze Bracket
Insert the customer-supplied threaded rods through the designated side holes of the trapeze bracket. Secure the rods firmly using customer-supplied washers and nuts. Ensure all connections are tight.
- Attach Wire Basket to Trapeze Bracket
Utilize the two PWBHK** wire basket hooks (sold separately) to securely attach the wire basket to the trapeze bracket. Ensure the basket is properly seated and stable.
- Adjust for Clearance (if necessary)
If your wire basket application includes a center line wire, you may need to shift either the trapeze bracket or the wire basket to provide the necessary clearance for a complete and proper installation.
- Apply Threaded Rod Cover (Center Hole Installation only)
For center hole installations, it is best practice to apply a threaded rod cover (e.g., TRC18FR-X20Y, sold separately) to the exposed threaded rod for protection and aesthetics.
- Ensure Even Load Distribution (Center Hole Installation only)
When performing center rod installations, ensure that the load is distributed evenly across the entire width of the wire basket to maintain proper balance and structural integrity.
- Bond Pathway Sections (Best Practice)
As a best practice, bond pathway sections. This may be a requirement for certain agency approvals and helps ensure electrical continuity and safety.
